The Prayer of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus...

is a Roman Catholic prayer [jaarlijks te vernieuwen!] composed by Pope Leo XIII. 

It was included in the 1899 encyclical Annum sacrum issued by Leo XIII... 

as he consecrated the entire world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The consecration was influenced by two letters written to the pope by Sister Mary of the Divine Heart - who stated that, in visions of Jesus Christ, she had been told to request the consecration.

¨Most Sweet Jesus... 

Redeemer of the human race...

look down upon us, humbly prostrate before Thine altar. 

We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be. 

But to be more surely united with Thee...

behold each one of us freely consecrates himself today... 

to Thy most Sacred Heart.

-

Many indeed have never known Thee. 

Many too, despising Thy precepts, have rejected Thee. 

Have Mercy on them all, Most Merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart.

-

Be Thou King, O Lord.

Not only of the faithful who have never forsaken Thee... 

but also of the prodigal [verloren] children who have abandoned Thee. 

Grant that they may quickly return to Thy Father's House... 

lest [want anders] they die of wretchedness [ellende] and hunger.

-

Be Thou King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions... 

or whom discord [tweedracht] keeps aloof [op afstand]...

and call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith...

so that there may be but one flock and one Shepherd.

-

Be Thou King of all those who are still involved in the darkness of idolatry... 

or of Islamism [islam-fundamentalisme]... 

and refuse not to draw them into the Light and Kingdom of God. 

-

Turn Thine Eyes of Mercy towards the children of the race, once Thy chosen people: 

of old they called down upon themselves [riepen over zich af] the Blood of the Savior... 

may it now descend upon them a laver [als een wasvat] of Redemption and of Life.

-

Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church... 

assurance of freedom and immunity from harm.

Give Peace and Order to áll nations... 

and make the Earth resound, from pole to pole, with one Cry: 

Praise be

to the Divine Heart

That wrought [bewerkte] our salvation. 

To It be Glory and Honor, 

for ever.

Amen¨
